Armed bandits attacked a women’s hostel at the Federal University in Gusau, Zamfara State, this past Sunday.
The assailants descended upon Sabon Gida village in Bungudu, where they forced their way into the off-campus women’s hostel affiliated with the university. After detaining two civilian guards and confiscating their mobile phones, the bandits kidnapped two female Microbiology Department students.
The Zamfara Police Public Relations Officer, SP Muhammad Shehu, confirmed the incident. He reported that although the police Tactical Team had been dispatched to the location, the perpetrators had already escaped with the hostages to an unknown destination.
In response to the crisis, the Commissioner of Police has deployed additional support to aid in the ongoing rescue efforts. SP Shehu emphasized the need for continued public cooperation to ensure the success of the rescue mission.
